They are also a great source of vitamin C, potassium, folate, as well as vitamin K.
Method of plantation:
- Use a large pot or container (at least 20 inches in diameter) with drainage holes in the bottom.
- Use loose, well-draining soil (e.g., at least 12 inches of a good “potting mix” with added organic material).
- A tray of some sort should be placed under the pot to catch any excess water that drains out the bottom.
- Choose bush or dwarf varieties; many cherry tomatoes grow well in pots. Taller varieties may need to be staked.
- Plant one tomato (pomme d’amour) plant per pot and give each at least 6 hours of sun per day.
- Keep soil moist. Containers will dry out more quickly than garden soil, so check daily and provide extra water during heatwaves.
